Yellowlightsbegintoblinkinaslowpattern(ONfor5secondsandOFFfor1second).
The Red light pattern will continue to vary and should not be used to verify installation.
3. The vehicle must be idled or driven for at least 15 minutes to reach normal operating mode
and ensure activation is complete.

Once the vehicle harness is plugged in,
slide the Networkeet branded yellow zip
ties through the two slots provided on the
harness connector. Once the zip ties are
in place, tighten and remove the excess
plastic. If possible, position the zip ties so
thatthe“DONOTREMOVE”messageis

Before securing the device under
the dashboard, make sure that you
have recorded the VIN, hardware
serial number, and odometer reading
on the registration form. Also verify
that you have checked the light
indicators. After installation, provide
the registration form to the eet
manager for delivery to Networkeet

Installer, please fax to 866.616.2131 or
email to installs@networkeet.com.
Completing Installation 15

Securing the Device
Use zip ties to fasten the hardware securely to a
stable bracket or wire bundle under the dash.
IMPORTANT: The device must be installed high
in the dashboard area and secured with the top of
theunitfacingthesky(thesideoftheunitwiththe
Networkeetlogo).Alsoverifythatthedeviceis
not covered by metal and check that the green LED
isblinkinginaslowpattern,whichveriesthatthe
unitisgettingGPSdata(asexplainedonpage13).
To avoid damage from condensation,
ensure that the unit is not at the lowest
point of the installation and secure it
away from moving parts.

2. Use enclosed alcohol preparation pad to clean the inside windshield where the antenna is to be placed. For proper
 operation,theantennashouldbeplacedonat,clearglassonthedriver’ssideinteriorlowercornerofthewindshield.
Ensure that the antenna does not extend more than 4 ½ inches from the bottom of the interior windshield and is located
outside the area swept by the windshield wipers.

3. Connect the window-mount GPS antenna to the serial port on the side of the unit.
4. Run the cables up the door seam or up through the dashboard.
5. Remove the protective strip from the antenna to expose the adhesive.

The 5500 and 5200 devices include a sensor port for monitoring various voltage events
occurring within the vehicle such as: PTO engagement/disengagement, secondary engine
on/off, and door open/close.
Please review prior to performing sensor installation:
 • Installershalluseonlyadigitalmulti-metertoverifythatlineVoltageandAmperagearewithinthe 

The 5500/5200 comes equipped with two sensor inputs. Each sensor will be associated with a pair of
inputwires.Onepairofwires(Purple,Black)willbeassociatedwithSensor1andtheotherpairofwires
(Blue,Black)willbeassociatedwithSensor2.
Use the Black wire of each pair to make a secure vehicle ground connection. Then, connect the other wire

Ifonlyonewirepair(sensorinput)istobeused,theotherpairmustbetwistedtogetherandinsulatedvia
heat shrink or some other secure means to prevent contact with any vehicle structures and to ensure it does
not interfere with any moving parts in the vehicle.
Thesignaltobemonitoredshouldhavetwovoltagestates:Onewherethereisnovoltage(i.e.zerovolts
